Tiger King's Joe Exotic: "You know it would be nice if I could actually see me being famous out there..."

Netflix today posted a prison interview with Joe Exotic conducted two days after Tiger King premiered on March 22 -- before the docuseries really took off on social media throughout last week. "You know it would be nice if I could actually see me being famous out there, but I've seen these same four walls for a year and a half now," said Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage. The Tiger King star is serving a 22-year sentence in part for his murder-for-hire scheme to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin. Joe Exotic did express some remorse for the way he treated his animals. "Go it in a cage with your animals for a week," he said. "I mean, when I left the zoo and I sent my chimpanzees to the sanctuary in Florida and imagined what my chimpanzees went through for 18 years, I — I'm ashamed of myself." Joe Exotic also said: "I’m done with the Carole Baskin saga. It’s now time to turn the tables and… get (Joe) out of a jail a free man and exonerated from all these charges,”
